There was silence in the room. When fear and despair came over him, Uncle Zhou slowly regained his senses.
Now that His Highness is away and Zhufeng is dead, if he can't calm down, the situation in the capital will really be a mess!
There was no rush, Sheng Xiuran had said that she had given the secret letter to someone else, and once she died, the letter would be made public.
Now he wants to pay attention to the rumors in Beijing, and after all, there is no evidence for Sheng Xiuran!
If she had mentioned what he said in the rockery in her letter, then there would be no need to panic. Even if all the torture in the world were imposed, he would not betray His Highness even one cent!
Moreover, without evidence, once rumors spread, Emperor Yong would not sit still and wait for death.
With Emperor Yong's ability, there is absolutely no problem in catching those who spread the rumors. If the rumors don't go away, maybe Emperor Yong will kill to end the chaos!
Thinking more deeply, His Highness was criticized by "someone with intentions" in this way, which shows that the thief has sinister intentions. If he can take this opportunity to taint the prince and the Qiao family, wouldn't it be another wonderful opportunity?
If this can be accomplished, Your Highness will truly be invincible!
Yeah!
Don't lose sight of yourself. We haven't reached a desperate situation yet, and the outcome has not yet been decided!
After analyzing the pros and cons, Uncle Zhou finally calmed down completely.
He supported the bed, gritted his teeth and sat up with a breath of air. He felt that his right leg had completely lost all feeling. He beat it twice, feeling extremely sad and angry.
Qiao family... Qiao family...
The Qiao family is simply a lingering shadow in his life! Whether it was in the Northern Kingdom or living in the Yong Dynasty now!
"It's not over yet!"
Uncle Zhou stood up slowly with his left leg, supported a stool beside him, and moved to the table with difficulty.
There is paper and pen on the table.
He couldn't rest, he had to repair the book for His Highness as soon as possible, and he couldn't let His Highness fall into a passive situation!
Under the dim candlelight, Uncle Zhou's forehead was covered with sweat, the wound on his back also overflowed with blood, and his hands were shaking non-stop.
He struggled with this letter, altered it, and discarded it countless times.
Regarding Di Zaiying...he really didn't know how to speak to His Highness.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
"Master Zhou, my subordinate is back."
Uncle Zhou suddenly raised his head when he heard this, "Come in!"
The secret guard pushed open the door and saw Uncle Zhou standing up and sitting on the chair, his expression changed greatly.
Uncle Zhou had no time to pay attention and asked quickly: "What's going on? What's going on?"
The secret guard quickly shook his head, "Mr. Zhou, these are just clichés and there are no new rumors. I don't know what you... what you want to inquire about."
When Uncle Zhou heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed and he slowly came back to his senses.
Sheng Xiuran might have said that on purpose yesterday. After all, this way, he would not kill her easily.
However, he still can't take it lightly!
"Check! Keep checking! Any new rumors about His Highness must be reported to me as soon as possible!"
The secret guard immediately responded respectfully: "Yes!"
"Okay, you go out, I have something important to do."
Uncle Zhou waved his hand laboriously.
The secret guard wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Uncle Zhou's stern look, he retreated obediently.
"Master Zhou, my subordinates are standing guard at the door. If you need anything, just call me."
Silence returned to the room again, and this time Uncle Zhou finally sorted out the myriad of threads in his mind.
Since the rumors have not yet started, this matter may have been completely buried with Sheng Xiuran's death.
In this case, there is no need to rush to mention this matter in the letter. It is really difficult to describe the matter in a few words. In case, it is better to wait for His Highness to come back... He will tell the truth after His Highness comes back!
Thinking of this, Uncle Zhou reluctantly wrote:
"Your Majesty -"

On the other side, Qiao's study room.
Qiao Tianjing was writing a letter to Qiao Zhongguo, and Qiao Jiaojiao was lying on the desk, helping to check for any gaps at any time.
After finishing writing all the important things, Qiao Tianjing looked up at Qiao Jiaojiao and asked with a smile: "Is there anything you want to say to daddy, little sister?"
Qiao Jiaojiao tilted her head and said with a smile: "Brother, please help me fill it in. You said I miss my father and my second brother so much. I want five 'missing me's!"
Hearing this, Qiao Tianjing raised his hand and rubbed Qiao Jiaojiao's head, and said dotingly: "Okay~~"
[Hey, let dad and second brother know what it means that a letter from home is worth ten thousand yuan! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao held her chin up, imagining the expressions of her father and second brother when they received the letter, their eyes bent into little crescents.
That night, just before the curfew, two letters were sent from the capital at the same time and sent to the same destination...
————
The next day, the fourth prince came to the Qiao Mansion happily and said in a "show off" tone: "Sister Qiao, the prince brother will come to pick me up tonight!"
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Look at how clever these two brothers are. Before the eldest brother even opens his mouth, the man comes to the door.
Qiao Jiaojiao waited until dinner time, finally waiting for the prince.
"Brother Prince!"
Qiao Jiaojiao was now shouting like Xiao Si. The prince was very helpful and picked up Qiao Jiaojiao very skillfully.
At this time, Qiao Tianjing came forward, his expression slightly solemn.
"Your Highness, I have something big to report one day."
The prince's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly carried Qiao Jiaojiao into the house. Upon seeing this, the fourth prince immediately followed.
Seeing that the prince was still standing, Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly got off him.
[The melon is too big. I am afraid that the prince will be too shocked and throw me to the ground...]
Qiao Tianjing organized his conversation and mentioned the workhouse again before getting down to business.
"Your Highness, I rescued an old friend in the almshouse. As you know, Miss Sheng Xiuran of the Sheng family."
"Sheng Xiuran? She is actually in the almshouse?"
The prince was a little stunned.
He did not hide it from Qiao Tianjing and directly stated his original guess.
"Last year at the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, it must have been my third brother who felt pity for her and sent her out of the palace."
This time it was Qiao Tianjing's turn to be surprised, "Third Prince?"
Qiao Jiaojiao's heart moved when she heard this.
[Wait a minute, the third prince is so weak in the palace, why would he take the risk to help Sheng Xiuran, who is neither a relative nor an acquaintance? 】
[According to the original trajectory, after the death of the prince, the third prince dared to stand up resolutely to support the prince's son, the emperor's grandson, to succeed the crown prince. This shows that he also has loyalty in his heart. 】
[Speaking of compassion, the third prince should also have it. After all, as a prince, he suffers from a serious disease, so it is inevitable that he will have more empathy. 】
[However, these are not enough to push the third prince to help Sheng Xiuran, right? After all, once discovered by the second prince, he will most likely be involved in the fight! 】
[Thinking about it this way, unless...unless Sheng Xiuran and the third prince made an exchange of conditions, such as...]
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, his expression changed secretly.
He knew what his little sister had left unfinished.
For example, Sheng Xiuran also revealed the secret of the second prince’s life experience to the third prince!
